    Jean Moore was one of the first people I met when I arrived in Wawa in 1962 to live at the nurses residence. Jean has a room near the x-ray department on the lower floor of the Lady Dunn General Hospital and made me feel welcome right from the get-go. She provided her story for the Through Our Eyes project almost immediately, for which I was grateful, and through the years she would phone to bring me up to date on the happenings in her family. Sincere sympathy to her family and friends in their loss.
